MRI: Acquisition of CCD Single Crystal X-ray Diffractometer

在主要研究仪器（MRI）项目的支持下，阿克伦大学化学系将获得一台带有CCD探测器的x射线衍射仪，用于单晶衍射。该设备将加强许多领域的研究，包括：a)环环和杂环化学；B)金属-硅基配合物；C)电子缺陷有机金属化合物的合成与表征；D)配位聚合物作为沸石类似物；e)树突大分子的制备、认识和利用。x射线衍射仪可以精确测量分子的完整三维结构，包括键的距离和角度，并提供分子相对于邻近分子的空间排列的准确信息。这些研究将在许多领域产生影响，包括制备更有效的催化剂和材料化学。

With support from the Major Research Instrumentation (MRI) Program, the Department of Chemistry at the University of Akron will acquire a X-ray diffractometer with CCD detector for single crystal diffractometry. This equipment will enhance research in a number of areas including the following: a) cyclyne and heterocyclyne chemistry; b) metal-silyl complexes; c) synthesis and characterization of electron deficient, organometallic compounds; d) coordination polymers as zeolite analogs; and e) the preparation, understanding and utilization of dendritic macromolecules.The X-ray diffractometer allows accurate and precise measurements of the full three dimensional structure of a molecule, including bond distances and angles, and it provides accurate information about the spatial arrangement of the molecule relative to the neighboring molecules. These studies will have an impact in a number of areas, including the preparation of more efficient catalysts and materials chemistry.
